Took vacation from work to fish. Concentrated on previously marked brush piles and drop offs. Caught a couple, but markedly slower that 4/18/17. Picked up a couple trolling. Slow morning. I believe I missed most of the spawn. Not much luck under bridge early. Worked small pocket next to road south of bridge with Bobby Garland Money Milk and picked up 2-3 nice bluegill by casting. Worked a lot of bays, shoreline, shallows, tree tops - Not much luck at all. Returned to brush and drop off and picked up a couple more. Jigs, spider rigging much more effective than minnows. Caught 2-3 undersized crappie. Size noticeably smaller than previous trips. Ended day with 5-6 crappie and 2 nice bluegill. Also caught a smallmouth near the road.


Fish cleaned still had some eggs, however, I feel most of the spawn is over.
